In a removing, at the instance of John Stirling against Mr William Gordon, the defender alleged, That the execution of the precept of warning was null and informal, in so far as the execution against the defender preceded the publication at the parish church, which was several days after, and act 39. Par. 6. Q. M. requires the precept to be executed against the tenant, and thereafter to be read at the parish church-door; which dilatory defence the Lords repelled, and sustained process, thinking it sufficient that both execution and publication were 40 days before Whitsunday.
